If James Bond in the next movie is not a transgendered lesbian woman of color, I will not attend!

Broccoli is the daughter of the James Bond producer Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli and actress Dana Wilson Broccoli (born Dana Natol).

In 1995, Cubby Broccoli handed over control of Eon Productions, the production company responsible for the James Bond series of films, to Barbara and her half-brother Michael G. Wilson; they continue to run the company as of 2019.

A line from the next Bond movie has been leaked.

“My name is Bond, Transgendered Bond.”

How about a remake of “Shaft” with George Clooney in the title role?

Wasn’t too long ago that the same thing was said about Doctor Who. Then BBC got involved, and the show turned into a woke, PC crapfest.

Putting women into popular male roles has been a mistake, as box office numbers show.

Its interesting. The people who are going to attend a Bond movie are the people who like Bond. If they put in the gay African bond, those people will boycott. And trust me, no new audience will show up. Bond is a British male. Thats the character. He can have all sorts of weird sidekicks and villains. But he should be male and British. When they made him an American they lost most of their audience. It doesn’t take much to screw it up.

Actually, Bond can’t be “any color” if you care about his backstory.

He’s a Briton who’s family is/was the landed gentry. That makes him white. Sorry.

Of course they’d just get around that by...you know, not caring about his backstory.

Of course James Bond can't be a woman.

But 007 could easily be a woman. How many times did Bond work with a female counterpart from another country?

Oh come one. A transgender male would be perfectly fine. And he can have periods, which would add to the intrigue.

Fleming clearly mentioned in the book Bond was a white male.

But hey, we have a black Hamilton.

If I had ever won the Powerball I would make new Shaft movie with a white gay male character and watch black heads explode.

I believe Fleming described Bond pretty well early on. Fictional character, sure, but he’s a white guy. Nothing else makes any sense.

I’m sure Ian Fleming would agree.

Not.
